Drink Straws

Some straws from the Drink in Uptown. I really could use some more outdoor shots. This just isn't my style.

What can I say?

What can I say that I haven't said before. How about that I don't feel safe in my own neighborhood. It's a sad story.

Snow Storm in March

I don't know how much snow we got today but it was a mess. I think we were getting 2 inches an hour. Good morning I guess?

Snow Day 1676

I been taking a lot of fence shots lately.

Snow Day 1716

Funky tree.

Snow Day 1738

Open water.

Snow Day 1768

The only person I saw on a bike all day. I tried to get the biker while they crossed the center of the bridge. So close. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

"Been Through Wars"

Me: Will you sign my ball please?

Kirby: That’s the best you got?

What did he mean? I thought he was mad at me for approaching him the way I did. After all it was rude.

Me: frozen and speechless cause Kirby Puckett was actually mad at me.

He meant the ball. He was just giving me a hard time for handing him the worst looking ball to sign.

Kirby: This balls been through wars.

He smiled and turned the ball over to the side that still had seams intact. His smile was warm and kind. It was the same smile I’d seen in magazines, newspapers and on baseball cards so many times before. Then he signed it and handed it back to me. Just like that.

Me: Thanks a lot Kirby. Thanks a lot.

You da man Kirby. You da man. Rest In Peace.

Most Colorful Wall in Uptown

This is the most colorful wall in Uptown (that I know of). It's located between Chinos and Lunds. I've seen a lot of nice photos taken of this wall in the past. These are some of mine.
